Is it just me or do the numbers on the servo look very badly photoshopped?

What is there to say? Looks good....... I guess as soon as I break my Mini Infernos servo I will switch to this from my HS-55.

I just put a 55 in my RC18T. Seems like a nice servo. The MG looks interesting.

tim- yea, they look photoshopped for sure. a little strange imo

[MaxxThrasher]

This is new? Thought they already had these out for a while?

The HS-56 has existed since September 2003 (easily mixed up). The HS-65 has existed since August 2005. Minus R&D time. I caught (I asked him) Mike Mayberry of Hitec running it at the 7th Annual Hitec Parking Lot Challenge. :)

would this be a direct fit into a 18t ?

[OutFrontFrames]

I bet it would be.. :)

I'm not sure it has enough torque for stadium trucks. From my experience, around 30 ounces (at 4.8) is a good amount.

Too bad they can't update the 81s line with a better centering top gear.

He is talking about an 18th scale truck.. Which it should have plenty of tourque for..

[The_Mini_Me]

So am I. And no, from my experience under 25 doesnt cut it on carpet and foams.

[ZoneOfTheEnders]

thats plenty of torque

[The_Mini_Me]

to each their own :)
